Could the third Black Ops map pack Annihilation be on its way this month? According to a poster spotted in a GameStop store, it could well be.

**Update: Call of Duty: Black Ops Annihilation DLC Arriving On Xbox 360 June 28th
Unfortunately, Activision’s reply was “no comment,” which could mean there might be imminent news about the third Black Ops map pack to be released soon? Let’s hope so.
What We Know About the Annihilation Map Pack
What we do know already about the map pack is that it will have four multiplayer maps called: Hangar, Hazard, Silo, and Drive-In, plus a new zombie map incarnation, similar to the last Black Ops: Escalation DLC map pack. Each of these maps promises to bring unique environments and challenges to the game, enhancing the overall multiplayer experience.
For instance, Hangar is expected to be set in an aircraft storage facility, providing a mix of open spaces and tight corridors for intense firefights. Hazard, on the other hand, is rumored to be set on a golf course, offering a more open and strategic gameplay experience. Silo will likely feature a missile launch facility, adding verticality and complex structures to navigate. Drive-In is anticipated to be set in an old drive-in theater, bringing a nostalgic yet chaotic battleground for players.
Zombie Map and Pre-Order Rumors
The new zombie map is also generating a lot of excitement. While details are scarce, it’s expected to follow the tradition of previous zombie maps by offering a unique setting, intricate Easter eggs, and challenging gameplay that will keep players engaged for hours. Fans of the zombie mode are eagerly awaiting more information on what this new map will entail and how it will expand the existing zombie storyline.
It’s also rumored that GameStop is already taking pre-orders for the new Black Ops: Annihilation map pack, but this has not been confirmed as yet. If true, this would indicate a high level of confidence in the map pack’s release date and content. Pre-orders often come with exclusive bonuses or early access, so it’s worth keeping an eye on official announcements for any such offers.
As more information becomes available, we will keep you updated. The anticipation for the Annihilation map pack is palpable, and fans are eagerly awaiting any official confirmation or additional details. The success of previous map packs like First Strike and Escalation has set high expectations for Annihilation, and it will be interesting to see how it measures up.
